### Self Centering Point Strategy

The Self Centering Point strategy for the Vector Auto Feature measures a self-centering point on a part. Two types of self-centering points are available:

- 2D (2 axis) - A self-centering point in an internal V shape or in an internal arc are examples.

- 3D (3 axis) - A self-centering point in an internal cone, internal cylinder, or internal spherical section are examples.

To measure a self-centering point, do the following:

1. Open the Auto Feature dialog box for a Vector Point (Insert | Feature | Auto | Point | Vector). For help, see "Inserting Auto Features".

2. From the Probe Toolbox, select the Measurement Strategies tab ().

3. From the list of strategies, select Self Centering Point.

4. In the Point area in the Auto Feature dialog box, type the nominal X, Y, and Z values.

5. In the Surface area in the Auto Feature dialog box, type the surface vectors.

6. Complete the properties on the tabs:
